Dear

I know that this message may come as a surprise to you but do not be surprise, read careful to understand the content of this letter, I am Desmond David Abott of Desmond David & Co.Attorneys the legal adviser to a mining engineer/contractor Engr.m.Paulson,a citizen of south Africa who used to be a major contractor with (ANGLO GOLD MINES) Mafikeng, Gold Mining/ Exploration Corporation in South Africa hereinafter shall be referred to as my client.

On April 21, 2019 during the covid-19 pandemic my client, were involved in a car accident, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several personal inquiries from home
affairs to locate any of my client’s extended relatives, this attempt to locate his relatives has been unsuccessful.

It is with great privilege that I will be sharing a lot of confidential details with you regarding this mining engineer/contractor Engr.m.Paulson,please I need your utmost trust and cooperation to embark on this project.

I have my late client information which I will send to you upon your response to this message confirming your interest and willingness to be my partner in this fund claim.

Going through his file in my custody, there was no known next of kin on record. I decided to search through his last name via the web of the network which motivated me to contact you. Like I stated earlier, I contacted you because you bear the same last name with the late engineer/contractor. All documentation will be handled by me to ensure that the amount of $6,000,000.00 usd is remitted to you as the legitimate next of kin/beneficiary.

At this juncture I would like to tell you more about myself and why I decided to embark on this transaction with you: I am a very honest and God fearing man who believes in hard work and diligence. Over the years I have been opportune to be in custody of documents of funds of this nature even of higher magnitude but I have never thought of claiming any of it because I felt it was ethically wrong.

All I have been doing all these years was to declare such funds as unclaimed to the national treasury. I am not prepared to do that anymore because I discovered recently that such funds were embezzled by corrupt officials after I declared the funds unclaimed. This really broke my heart and I felt very stu*id because I have always been in a better position to acquire such funds without any trace. Because of my truthful nature I never thought of such. I know if I have such funds in my possession I will direct it towards human development and charity but these corrupt officials have chosen to misuse the funds and pile it up for their immediate families and unborn generations.

All I need is your cooperation and trust. I will help in securing necessary legal documents needed to back you up with the claim, all that I require from you is your honesty, I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law.

My candid requests are:
1) Assurance that you will not turn your back on me after you have received the money.
2) I need you to assure me also that this will be kept confidential between you and I alone.
3) This is a lifetime opportunity for you and I and with my position as a lawyer I can handle
everything and I assure you it is 100% risk free.

Kindly provide me with the following details to enable me commence the documentation
process immediately: Please provide the below information which is required to expedite
action:
1. Age?
2. Occupation?
3, Can you handle such a huge amount?
4. Are you married?
5. Physical Address:
6. Home or work telephone
7. Cell no.
8. Full names in which you want the claim documents to be acquired.
9. Passport or ID no.
10:Your email address and surname is the same as the one I found in his file (Already have)

You will not regret being part of this transaction because you will benefit financially too. After the funds have been paid out to you. I would like us to split the funds equally 45% for you and 45% for me. 5% will be donated to charity while 5% will be for any expenses that will incur during the transaction

As soon as the transaction is finalized I will meet with you for my share.From my share of the funds I intend to embark on further charity work and real estate.

I believe this is an opportunity for me to have a change of lifestyle and start afresh.

Kindly send Email to my personal email address (info.diplomatchambers@diplomats.com)

Before commencing any phone communication for security reasons, I need your strong assurance and confidentiality

Please note: this transaction is between you and me alone and it must remain that way to avoid obstacles.

Kindly keep it very private and confidential.Trusting you in confidence while I await your response.

Sincerely Yours,

Desmond David Abbot.
Legal Consultant.
